Welcome to the Home Page of the Baltimore Guild-Catholic
Medical Association!
We invite YOU to participate in a group that provides
Physicians with spiritual and educational support to practice Medicine
in alignment with the Magisterium of the Roman Catholic Church.
This organization provides members with forums for
dialogue on issues concerning Catholic doctrine, such as: abortion,
euthanasia, contraception, and stem cell research, to name a few.
Our practice of the faith and vocation as Physicians
unites us.

CMA Mission Statement:
As Catholic Physicians of the United States and Canada, we come together
in the Catholic Medical Association in order to grow in the spirit
of Christ in our personal and professional lives, to bring His
Spirit to all that is touched by our science and art, and to
assist the Vicar of Christ, the Bishops, and the whole Christian
community with leadership, especially with the particular
knowledge, skill and experience we have as Christian Physicians.
|
The Purpose of the Catholic Medical
Association is:
- To
uphold the principles of the Catholic faith and morality as
related to the science and practice of medicine.
- To
cooperate in leading the Christian community, especially with the
particular medical expertise and experience of the Catholic
physician, to understand, develop, and apply Christ's principles
of faith and morality to modern medical practice.
- To
lead the Christian community in the work of communicating Catholic
medical ethics to the medical profession and the
community-at-large.
- To
uphold Catholic hospitals in the application of Catholic moral
principles in medical practice.
- To
enable Catholic physicians to know one another better and to work
together with deeper mutual support and understanding.
